Picks up injury in win

Najar abandoned Wednesday's 3-0 win over New England Revolution due to a thigh problem.

Analysis: Najar went down in a non-contact play after attempting a pass in the 50th minute of Wednesday's matchup. This could leave Nashville without their top right-back option for the next few games, but he'll likely need to be assessed to determine the severity of the injury. He has been an important playmaker lately, delivering three assists in 11 MLS appearances. Left-back Daniel Lovitz could return to the starting lineup if Najar is ruled out, with either Reed Baker-Whiting or Josh Bauer covering the right side of the defense.

Assists in draw

Najar sent in four crosses, created four chances, and assisted in Saturday's 2-2 draw with D.C. United.

Analysis: Najar registered his fifth assist of 2026, including three in his last two starts. The right back continues to be a major threat going forward, and he will look to make his mark again on the road against the New England Revolution on Wednesday.

Creates two chances in win

Najar sent in two crosses and created two chances in Saturday's 2-0 win over Atlanta United.

Analysis: Najar was active on the right wing, and he did his part defensively to help Nashville earn their fourth shutout of the season. The Honduran has two assists on the season, and after a breakout campaign with 11 assists last season, we can expect to see Najar to continue to get involved going forward. Up next is a juicy home match with Charlotte FC on Saturday.
